Dredd - Page 2

'Dredd 3D,' the big screen reboot of the semi-iconic British comic book character, opens a month from now and the marketing maching is kicking into high gear with the movie's first TV spot and a new viral site.

It's the end of summer, so celebrate by heading to the theater to check out this month's new releases. We've got the latest from Rian Johnson, a new raunchy female-centric comedy, an animated trip to a spooky hotel, and the highly-anticipated new film from Paul Thomas Anderson.

When we were at Comic-Con 2012 in San Diego, we got to see a screening of the upcoming action flick 'Dredd.' While we didn't get a close look at our guy Karl Urban, (duh, 'cause he kept his helmet on for the entire film) we did get a close-up snapshot of Lena Headey as Madeline “Ma-Ma” Madrigal. Let's just say, we were a little more than frightened.

'Dredd' screened for fans at Comic-Con 2012 and it "borders on being a blast" says our review. The audience loved it and now to get fans that didn't make it to Comic-Con (or couldn't get in the screening), Lionsgate has released a bunch of new 'Dredd' pics for you to enjoy.

A few days ago, Karl Urban told the internet that the first footage from the upcoming 'Star Trek 2' would premiere this weekend. To be specific, he promised that a video called "Star Trek Comic Con Sneak Peek" would arrive on YouTube. It turns out that the new "Bones" McCoy and star of 'Dredd' was pulling our leg: the video (which actually is titled "Star Trek Comic Con Sneak Peek") contains about give seconds of behind-the-scenes 'Trek' footage and about four minutes of Urban surfing, amongst other nonsense.

Karl Urban (at least I think it's Karl Urban -- he never takes off his helmet) hits his one note well, hard and often. As Judge Dredd, he's a stern one-man justice machine in a dystopian megapolis, part of a woefully understaffed police force that zips among enormous city-state, 200 story apartment blocks, threatening a term in an "iso-cube," but mostly bullet-blasting perps in ever resourceful ways. Just when you thought you'd seen every way for brains to splatter across the screen in 3D, 'Dredd' comes up with something new.

Will you be at Comic-Con 2012? Do you want to check out the first ever screening a major upcoming movie, two months before it hits theaters? If so, then we can help! Lionsgate is kicking off San Diego Comic-Con 2012 with an Advance Screening of 'Dredd 3D' and we can get you in!

The 'Dredd' trailer is online and features a lot of what you'd expect - guns, explosions and really cheesy legal puns ("The sentence....is death!"). But is also features something you might not expect from a big action film: an ethereal pop song. But what is that song?
